SmartMow
Robot Lawn
Mower is an
environmentally
friendly and affordable robot lawn mower
for maintaining your
lawn. Fully autonomous
operation enables SmartMow to cut
your lawn, allowing you to spend your time on other
things. The SmartMow operates using a three blade
mulching system so there is no grass to pick up, plus all
the nutrients remain in your lawn, where they belong.
The cutting height can be easily adjusted using flexible
shims and an Allen key down to 3. 5 cm.
The SmartMow has a remote control that allows you
to direct your robot mower to hard to reach areas, to
move from cutting zone to cutting zone, or to create
artistic patterns in your lawn. The remote allows you to
turn SmartMow on and off or force it to automatically
return to its home station to recharge its battery. Once
fully charged, SmartMow automatically heads back out
to continue its work without complaint.

the Windows and Linux series O/S through the MicroSD
card as bootable storage, allowing users to more easily
develop robotic applications.

motors and sensors (gyroscopes, accelerometers, and
other devices). It also has 32 built-in PWM channels to
control servo motors or other devices, eight 24-bit
general-purpose input/outputs (GPIO), RS-232 serial, TTL
serial, RS-485, USB V2.0 x 3, eight channels 10-bit
analog-to-digital Conversion, SPI/I2C bus, Audio out and
Microphone in, 10/100M LAN, and Mini PCI socket for
